I agree with your statement. To gain the reward one must follow the actual practice...

The tithe mentioned and taught by the Law was agricultural. Jesus mentioned this in Matthew 23:23, where He speaks of tithing of mint, anise, and cummin. In Hebrews 7, Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek once, and did so freely, not of command. This was the tithe, the first fruit offering unto the High Priest of God, and was willful. None of the verses rendered called the saints to pay the tithe tax for being a believer.

Good articles for consideration though.

Of course almost everything Jesus talked about was agriculture....take seed plant it in the ground...so we ought to just scrape about 1/2 of the gospels unless you're a farmer.

There is a difference in what Crossfire was saying and Jesus' use of a parable. And you know that... I am sure.

Of course I do....

• I only like figs when it is followed with "newton" so bearing fruit has not implication to my life.
  
• Because I have no vineyards being connected doesn't apply to me.
  
• I've never had a wheat crop so the harvest isn't my responsibilities
  
• And because I don't have those spices the tithes is not relevant.

I understand perfectly

Apparently... you don't.

You are engaging in hyperbole that, I assume, you feel makes your point.

It does not. At all.

Amen. That is a good read, short and to the point.
